Under what conditions did the social movement the Muslim Brotherhood resort to the use of terrorist tactics? Three factors led to the radicalization of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hasan al-Banna, the charismatic leader (as defined by Max Weber) and founder of the Muslim Brotherhood commanded the Brotherhood to use terrorism. Secondly, the Muslim Brotherhood radicalized because Hasan al-Banna himself was radicalized throughout time. The last factor that led to the radicalization occurred because the Brotherhood became more and more frustrated after each attempt to reform the Egyptian population failed. This accumulation of frustration led to the use of terrorist tactics
